I would in a heartbeat if I had the money! :):):):) I have never seen a vert skater yet. But not earning even a living wage right now. This last surgery I am not in pain. I have bandaging like a full arm cast though lol. Those mini ramps are quick. I kinda like them and feel safer on them for now. But now I know what I'm going to work on. :-D Honestly I didnt think I would really be skating til fall so I have plenty of time to catch up!

: : Love your posts as always!! That mini ramp has me pumped. I guess I have to wait 10 days or so before I can skate again but I think I can now start getting some tricks again soon.
: :
: So???? R U coming to RollerCon this year???? Inquiring Minds want to know???LOL!!
: Glad you'll be rollin on 8 again soon! :)
: PEACE........................................Jay
: BTW: That Mini was ALOT more challenging than it probably looks. Fun, but challenging.

: : : Hello All,
: : : Just went skating twice (in same day) over the Holiday weekend with my boarder buddy Ian. The temps are already in the triple digits here in Vegas,so I gotta make sure I'm acclimated to the Desert skating conditions. :)
: : : It got me thinking to year's past & problems/complaints other skaters had. People were HOT! The heat ought to be self-evident, but you can't say it enough. Drink WATER!! I don't know what you can really do to prepare yourself locally if you don't live in a desert already.....work-out in a dry sauna??? I don't know. I drink lots of water AND lots of sports drinks to replenish eloctrolytes & I'm fine. but I live & work here in it so I'm acclimated. That's why all the skateparks are @ night. I'd do them even later (cooler) but city parks all close @ 10pm.
: : :
: : : Anyway, my buddy was good enough to film me yesterday @ the 2 parks we hit. I thought I'd include them, along with some older stuff from the other parks, on this year's tour so you guys had an idea of the parks here in Sin City.....
: : : Here's the outdoor park (not on tour) we hit while waiting for Area 702 to Open yesterday:

: : : Sorry about the knee-shot @ end there...Ian was just learning to use my Camera.

: : : So here's this year's RC SK8 Park Tour Flyer:
: : :
: : :
: : :
: : : Now, I don't have any vids or pics of Stops 1 or 2 handy. Suffice it to say they're small parks, more suited to novice skaters, but with fun elements for even experienced skaters as well. AND after Stop 2 I have a Secret Backyard Pool 2 blocks from there for the Vert Crew to hit.....Check it Out:
: : :
: : : Wagon Wheel Private Pools:

: : : Stop 3 is Hollywood SK8 Park. Bad Ass. Here's some stuff from last couple years' RCs there:

: : : Desi Jones, Duke Rennie & Me in HW 1/2 Pipe:

: : :
: : : Brother Duke in HW Full-Pipe:
: : :
: : : And take my word for it: He gets ALOT higher than this pic shows! Like 1030 or 1100!! Ridiculous! And Awesome!
: : :
: : : And just because it's probably my fav SK8 pic here's
: : : Duke, Desi & I Triple Inverts:
: : :
: : :
: : : Stop 4 is indoors!!! With big cooling fans!!!! And I've rented ENTIRE facility for our exclusive use. :) Plus this will be my 40th B-Day party & after this stop we'll be hosting a party at a bar in Imperial Palace (IP) with bottle service etc.....good times. You are all, of course, cordially invited.
: : : Anyway Area 702.....

: : :
: : : Here's Lee this Jan rippin the Killer Bowl they have:
: : :

: : : Here's me yesterday on their brand-new Mini-Vert Ramp. I call it that because it's 6 feet tall & less than 6 inches from being vert. Challenging, but fun.
: : :
: : :
: : : Finally Stop 5. Chosen, I must confess mostly due to it's proximity to my house. It's a long week for me & I'll have to be @ work @ 5am that next day! Smaller than all other parks, but still fun. Especially for less experienced skaters.
: : : Here's poster girl P.I.T.A., last month, at Stop 5 Duck Creek:
: : :
: : :
: : : Anyway, hope to see you all there......seriously. the more the merrier.
